  3. Re:bah, just what I need... on Geek Throne: A Self-Adjusting 'Smart' Chair · · Score: 1

    so an uncomfortable seat makes you more productive?
    wtf?
    Your one of the bastards that designed school desks!

  4. Re:copper interconnect on IBM Takes #1 w/ASCI White · · Score: 1

    Maybe even a pound of gold too!
    When they scrap this thing it will go a computer recycle plant.
    They have equipment that pulverizes computers and extracts all the precious metals.
    I think they save the plastics too.

  6. Re:just think about the applications for this! on The Universal Planar Manipulator · · Score: 1

    except damn near everything.

  7. Re:Old? on Focusing Audio · · Score: 1

    A haunted house designer wanted the effect of whispering in peoples ears to freak them out. This would probably work perfectly.

  8. Re:Not invisible, just transparent. on The Invisible Man? Kinda. · · Score: 1

    air is roughly 1.0
    water is about 1.3
    diamonds are 2.4
    why do you say they have the same ior? just curious, maybe your diamond test really does work, but i doubt it.

  10. Re:Thunder? on Apple Punishes ATI For Leaking The Cube? · · Score: 1

    Funny how the CPU manufacturers are the only
    obvious companies to have road maps of their
    products up to 2 years in advance.

  11. benchmark on Apple Punishes ATI For Leaking The Cube? · · Score: 1

    T he Benchmark Results of the Radeon compare well with a Geforce2.
    The Rage Pro Fury just sucks; not even beating a TNT2. Aple is Dum.

  13. bad example on Soldier Of Fortune: Must Be 18 To Play · · Score: 1

    "Probably have been fewer funerals."
    Amazingly no one was killed (except the burglars).

  14. Dot on the i? on IBM's 5.2M Pixel Flat Panel · · Score: 2

    is a single pixel? why is that cool? the dot's on my 'i's are a single pixel right now. They should have said something like "The dot on this 'i' here is 17 pixels!" that would indicate a higher resolution, or at least a bigger font.

  15. Re:Who will buy this thing? on IBM's 5.2M Pixel Flat Panel · · Score: 1

    I imagine anyone working in the graphics realm of things would kill for one of these. 200dpi is getting pretty close to laser printer quality.
    it's kind of ironic that nearly everthing the Art Department prints out is only 800x600, and sometimes they even scale it up from that to get something like 60dpi on their printouts. All those lost dots per inch. *sniff* makes me sad.

  16. Re:MPTrip / EasyBuy2000 impressions on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Do you think your unit is not as good as the later generations?
    I have tried to make my MpTrip skip.. I've smacked it repeatedly to the point of watching the CD inside come to a stop, yet it has never skipped.
    Does your Unit have a jack for a remote control?
    They seem to have changed the design a bit and mine does not have one.

  17. Built in mp3 ENCODER on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    With the 500 second memo function, i believe the MpTrip encodes MP3's as well. It uses the same memory for skip protection as for the memo.
    considering how CRAPPY the memo sounds-- I find it easy to believe it encodes at 12.8kbps

  18. Re:Battery life in MPtrip on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    battery life is supposedly around 6 hours this is with good alkaline batteries though.

    I have seen a "stick" thing that you pour 2 or three AA batteries into and then connect to the power input. you could probably make one but it would be kinda kludgy

    50*12.8K=640K That's all *I* need.

  20. AMD clock locked on Slashback: Justice, Delving, Printing, Noir · · Score: 2

    Did AMD engineers really think this would stop fraud? This looks simpler than SMP with celerons. It's almost like the engineers are secretly catering to the hackers with all these "riddles" and backdoors to solve. kewl!

  21. Re:memory problems? on AMD Thunderbird And Duron Set For June Launch · · Score: 1

    Have we been under a false impression that Athlons need special memory? Many companies advertise athlon compatible memory; if this is a false issue I'm sure it's hurt AMD's sales.

    >>Also, internet bandwidth is increasing very rapidly. There will be plenty of bandwidth to go around.
    If you haven't noticed; regardless of how much bandwidth we have or will have-- people will find ways to soak it up.

    Umm. It is not open to the public; you need an account and can only access what you own.

  24. My.warez.com on Judge Rakoff Explains MP3.com Ruling · · Score: 2

    Could a company setup an "application storage facility"? Slap in your Office CD and punch in your serial # and you can access YOUR legally owned software from anywhere in the world. Of course you have to own the machine as well, but that's a given, right? ;-) Obviously this wouldn't fly due to copy protection-- you could save it to another machine that isn't your, or share your login with your friends/world. Same risks involved with my.mp3.com. I'm surprised no one trades my.mp3.com accounts.... besides the fact that it's lame, and there is Napter :P

  25. Re:Reasonable Absolutely on Judge Rakoff Explains MP3.com Ruling · · Score: 2

    My.mp3.com was LAME waste of scarce internet bandwidth. As if the internet wasn't bogged to hell with warez and porn; do we need people pointlessly downloading music they already have???
